favor me wiUi itt'cau.o or tho meaning.
A silence—eml>arr.i--ing, painful,
settled upon all, which was liually
broken by old Deacon L, who gaitl:
"I perceive young man, you havo not
been long among tig, nnd I will thero
fore relate to you tho story connected with that grave—it it a sad ono—
well known to all of us old residents.
•Twenty years ago, Uiero lived in
this place un interesting well-to do
farmer, John Hammond by name.—
He cultivated a large and excellent
vegetable farm, tuid during Uie season would make one or two trips per
week, to the neighboring city, todis
pose of his products. .
One Saturday afternoon, on returning from ono of these business visits, he broeOilit with liim, its a guest,
u young nian who occupied the po-
sition of clerk in a store the fnrmer
fainting on the floor.
"It waa day. btforo he recovored,
and then only to Jcarn that sympathizing neighbors had sent the sad
intelligence to t)., summoning Mr.
Hammond and Muria lo the house of
mourning.
"Fanny's funeniL had taken pltice
the dny before her husband returned
to consciousness, and she then rested
in tho cemetery qfhemdoptcdhomo
Wonts cannot express the heart-rending anguish and pief of the strick-
-ii husband—let n.o pass over that.
Mr. Kelsey sold oal his business and
lf(i mt ajounieytto tho wesl. Returning in Uie -ill. in compliance
with his father-in-law's request, he
consented to have the remains disinterred and removed lo tho burying
ground here by Uie side of her tno-
Uicr.
"But what was tho horror of all,
wljen u|>oii opening the casket.'I^r-
lit-rc the old tleacoti'it-voiee faltered,
"upon opening the casket, to di_cov-
did business with. This young man j cr lliat the body bod turned in its
Oeorge Kelsey hud accepted n long- j narrow confines. This, combined
with oilier evidences tobteqnenUy
brought to light, proved to them beyond iidoul.t the horrid fact that she
standing invitation from Mr. Hammond, lo remain over Sunday at his
quiet farm house, the latter, from
long intercourse having found in him
an honorable intelligent and unliable
youns* man.
"I have iiegl.ei-ted_ to state that
Hammond was the father of three
children, one young man then ut col
lege, the other two, Funny and Maria, aged at that time, seventeen and
nineteen, rcpecUvely, as. istod in t
had Inrt'ii burled alive—buried While
only iii a cotnatote eondiUoiu. This
inforiniili'iii fell upon the brokenhearted husband with stunning effect, sud in one month from that timp
he was the inmate nf an asylum, a ra-
ving maniac.
"Sin-li, my young friend," continued Mr. L, "is the ..ttl story eotinec-

.:iti..i:i which followed, our young
friend wa* not slow in ascertaining
that tliey were highly Intelligent ladies, and could preside wilh initial
grace in either"parlor or dairy-
Just after the close of our late civil
war, shattered in body and mind by
wounds and richness, tho writer of
this waa ordered by bit physician to
leave, dusty, noisy Gotham, aud to
take up his abode in a retired country spot, and for a goodly period of
tinie to cease from all kind, of labor.
Behold me, then; in the month of
Augutt, IS.!.'., a passenger on Ul<! Van
derbilt, de.-tined for Troy, and from
thence, by easy stage, to the cosy
village of S., on the banks of the liter Hudson.
A trifle to the northeast of tho
place stands the old burying ground,
in whicb rests the remains of those
"who have gone before"—the old
revolutionary patriot, and the litUo
newly-made mound which covers a
mother's darling of tho present day.
Wandering through this ret-r.-l,
sacred spot, some few days after my
arrival at the village, my attenUon
was attracted by a tambstone of un-
iqiK-___f_jgn, bearing' thia inscription: "■
"Finny E_, buried March S. 186—,
in h..-2_th y9tjc*Z
Tii.. singular inscripUon haunted
me; I had read ancient and curious
tombstone literature to be found in
many a graveyard, old-end ne'w^ Mattered throughout toe country—some
mournful, some beautiful, other, un-
coath—hut never one really so very
strange as thi*. "Buried March 6th,
I8_-."
. After supper that evening, and
while resting ouajoungo ta Arnold's
cosoiWuble drawing room, I spoke
of my wanderings' flaring the day,
did our young clerk find the way
here, and ouoh visit only served to
deepen and strengthen his regard fur
tho family, particularly one member
Fanny.
"A correspondence took place between Kelsey and her—their friendship soon grew into love, and late in
tho fall of that year, when Fanner
Hammond paid one of liis periodical
visits to the store, George wus engaged in, tjit* lul itr called him aside
told him.Of tho affecUon existing between theyoung daughter und hini-
-elf.-aii.l won from Mr. 11., his con
sent to pay Fanny his addresses with
a view to marriage.
-"I need not follow Uie course of
their love for the-uext five months;
sufficeto say that in tho month of
May following, the young couple
.Were united in marriage, and almost
immediately* afterward left for the
city, where George in the meantime
had established bimsolf in business.
A few happy years flow quickly by
—the young merchant prospered in
bo.-ii.it.**-., and Uie suushino of their
! ILfft was undarkened by tho slightest
sorrow. At the end of this time—
3-___-o five' or Bix years—the young
wife's health began "rapidly to fail
her, a complicated complaint, inherited from her mother developed itself, and it was deemed advisable to
send Fanny.to ber old home again—
for, it must be remembered, she had
always been nsed to fresh atmosphere and healthful exercises of a
country home. A few months found
her apparently restored to healUi and
she Joyfully left the old homo to rejoin her husband, never again ro return to us in life.
"Upon returning homo from his
store lato one evening, George found
his usuallyquietabod^in the utmost
confusiom "The Missis hu* had au-
other one of them spells, sir," aald
one of the servants, "and I had just
strut for ypi;; the doctor has already
arrived.'*.,~ V
"Hurrying to his apartments,, he
found old Dr. 21. hchding over, tho
rigid, motionless form of his belore*}
wife. "
**I fear all it over," said ho, as the
distracted husband entered Uie room.
One low. at Uie faco of his wife, and
away from here, but a few weeks u-
go, his remaiirs-were conveyed back,
und laid by tho side of those of his
wife und theirtinfortttnate daughter.

Several times during that summer.! Bllt Oeorge—Uie husband—did he
ever recover?"
"Yes, in something like a year, he
was di. charged from the asylum, cured, but since then he has only once

"Possessed of much of tiiis world's

where on ono occasion, Matth.ws indulged in his well known taste for

"What shall wo begin with?" replied the echo.

Matthews.'
"Thank you, sir," cried Tattersall,
bringingdown the hammer, "the filly is yours."
"Matthews was considerable taken

'No it isn't said Jack, looking at

'No, no,' replied the "minister "it
